Required Roles:
Alma does not track e-resource usage, which is why you need to load statistics from your vendor. Adding this information to Alma can help you determine cost per use and other useful information. It also makes it easier to compare usage across platforms.
COUNTER:
Subscriber:
Access Providers:
Before starting work in Alma to manually upload COUNTER usage reports, you'll need to download COUNTER reports from vendor administrative portals. Commonly used reports are TR_J1 (replaces JR1 from COUNTER R4) and TR_B1 (replaces BR1 from COUNTER R4).
COUNTER reports are uploaded and managed through the Acquisitions, Import, Load Usage Data interface, or in the Usage Data tab of the vendor record for the given vendor or publisher.
SUSHI accounts are managed in the Usage Data tab of the vendor record for a given vendor or publisher.
Scheduling Harvesting:
There are several ways to see what usage data has been loaded in your system:
In order to see the details of each report, you need to run Alma analytics or look at the data on your originating vendor's platform.
